Stupid Game

[Centerfield]

I'm bored. Figure out the connection between this group of Mets then post your own.

Who are we?

[nymr83]

they're all white guys?

[Guest Edgy DC]

They all appeared in MTV's Rock 'n' Jock Softball Classic?

[Centerfield]

Nope, and I don't know if that's true but that's not what I was going for.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Let's see...

I know that Keith and Roger played themselves on Seinfeld and John Stearns played himself, briefly, on Eight is Enough.

Did Pete Harnisch ever appear as himself on a prime-time network show? If so, then there's the connection.

[Centerfield]

Nope.

(again, it might be true, but not what I was going for.)

[Vic Sage]

they are all Mets whose pictures appear in your initial post.

[Centerfield]

The answer is there for you to see.

It's not like I'm asking you to name umpires or something.

[metsmarathon]

every one of them is wearing the uniform of the team which employed them at the time the picture was taken.

[Centerfield]

Hints:

[HahnSolo]

Two of them are wearing #17.

[nymr83]

Tree-Man whistles at the moon?

[Centerfield]

Another hint:

[Valadius]

It has something to do with The Who.

Entwistle, Moon, Daltrey.

[Valadius]

Oh wait, it's their first names. They're the same as the Who members.

[Centerfield]

Valadius is wise. Give us your group.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Eek. If you gave me a thousand years, I wouldn't have come up with that. I can name one Who: Roger Daltrey. (I guess two, if you count Cindy Lou Who.)

[Valadius]

Roger "Daltrey" McDowell
Pete "Townshend" Harnisch
Keith "Moon" Hernandez
John "Entwistle" Stearns

Let me find a suitable group of Mets for the next challenge.

[Frayed Knot]

CF would have made the question easier except he couldn't find a Met named Ringo.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Harder or easier than New York State colleges?

[Guest cooby]

Wonderful, CF! An amazing journey.

[Valadius]

Okay... find the connection between these Mets:

[Guest Edgy DC]

They each have a cozy place down in Boca?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Just kidding. All Star MVPs. In consecutive years maybe. Correct?

[Valadius]

Edgy is correct with the second guess. They were all All-Star MVPs, in consecutive years.

1995 - Conine
1996 - Piazza
1997 - S. Alomar
1998 - R. Alomar
1999 - Martinez

Edgy - you're up. Make your group of Connect-the-Mets.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yeah, I have the floor, baby, and I'm gonna filibuster

(...'cuz I don't know what to do.)

[Benjamin Grimm]

Wow. Very good.

Have the Mets ever had an All-Star MVP?

I'm thinking maybe Matlack in 1972.

And it could very well have been Mazzilli in 1979.

[G-Fafif]

Matlack and Madlock were co-MVPs in '75. Later, NBC merged them into Matlock, Tuesday nights at 8 on Channel 4.

[Guest Edgy DC]

"Post me, Edgy!"


"Me, too!"


"Don't forget me, Son."


"I see what you're doing. Count my ass in."


"What the...? Oh, OK. Yeah, me. I guess... as long as you're cool with the abscay thing."


"I'll join youse if you'll just... get... this... prick... off of me."


Original Met, anybody?


"Me? No fucking way. Sure, whatever."


"Wha? (Snicker.)"


"Getting kind of cramped in here, isn't it Edgy."


"Look at Mr. My-Photo-Is-So-Big. He never liked bong smoking when I played with him either. Not that I would know."
M

"Me again? Edgy must love me. I was in his last club and even I don't remember being a Met."


"Just keep the porn away from me, hippy."


"This team needs a '69er. Oh, and I don't mean that porn-wise, so be cool, Byrdman."


"I'm confused."


"All I know is that it ain't a club without a Smith. Help me out. Am I still alive?"

[G-Fafif]

With a little generous interpretation, are they first and last (and middle) names that can all serve as first names?
